Understanding DIFC Employee Workplace Savings Plan (DEWS) File Reporting Format

This file was developed to give employers the information they need to complete the DEWS Upload File (the “Upload File”) appropriately and efficiently.

What is a DEWS upload file?

The Upload File is the template for entering your employee’s data and contribution amounts, such as Visa details, basic pay details, employee contribution amounts, etc.

  • Each person that is on the monthly payroll file requires a distinct line.
  • The file is uploaded in CSV format; therefore, commas are not permitted within the data of the file.
  • The file must only be uploaded in English language, please do not use Arabic characters.
  • DEWS Payment is made in USD Currency.
